City in Support of | Movement for Safety and Health for Children. CO-OPERATION NECESSARY The opportunity for every person in Bismarck to make a hope a ‘real- ity, comes tomorrow when commit- tees of business men take off their coats and hats and go out to provide a swimming pool for the boys and: girls of Bismarck, and for the grown- ups as well. ; With the sentiment of the city sol-j idly behind the movement, as evidenc- ed by voluntary contributions and the painstaking. inquiries of the commit-! tee of Elks, which has volunteered its services in the city-wide proposition, the matter is to be laid before every person in the city on Friday and Sat- urday. 4 The committees will call upon citi-| zens for financial aid for the pool.; The tommittee hopes to be able to/ ‘enroll the name of. every Bismarck! citizen on the roll: of honor of the! swimming. pool fund. It will be an easy task for the city, if everyone! jumps into the spirit of the movement. | the committee believes, < What Is Needed. It hag ben figured out that a con- tribution of $10 from each family would put the proposition across.! There, may be cases where the head| of a family is in such circumstances) that he cannot meet his portion, the! committees realizes, and other heads! of ‘families’ who are willing to help not only their boys but the ‘boys and girls of other fathers will have to! make up this amount of money. There| must be, therefore, generous $15, $25; and $50 subscriptions, the committee! finds. The least which every person in the city on his own resources, with- out family, should be willing to give. is $5, the committee has figured. Five dollar subscriptions from young men on their own regources and $10 to $50 subscriptions from heads of families will put the proposition over in good! shape.

The roll of several hundred names who brought one or more bags of cement ‘answered the . questions completely for the committee. While the boys entered enthusiastr cally into the “buy-a-bag-of-cement” campaign they reached about one- third of the families of the city... The committees, which start out tomorrow will reach every family, and many ot those that bought a bag or more than one bag of cement from the boys prob- ably will desire to give greater aid to the. movement, it. is: believed. The pool which will be built will bc about 109 foot square, with a depth of 11-2 feet at one end to be used for @ wading pool for little, tots, and 2 depth of 9 feet at the other, the depti: being graduated.’ A dividing net will Protect the little ones in the wading Pool and attendants also will guar- antee the safety of the boys/and girls in swimming.

The spirit of Bismarck citizens in promoting a swimming pool is reflect- ed in a letter from Sioux Falls, S. D, asking for information.

The pageant. to be presented at. the auditorium carries out the idea that while we mourn for those who gave up their lives, yet with the sor- row there should be the spirit of thanksgiving and pride and the firm resolve to guarantee that their sacri- fices were not made in vain. Veterans of the Civil, Spanish and World Wars participate together with Mrs. Ed. Baunan, who takes the part representing the nation. Misses Julia Weber, Esther Taylor, Anne Atkinson and Mary Parsons represent the four sections of the country, North, South, | East and West, and Mrs. Roan in the final tableaux portrays the Goddess of Liberty.

It is un- derstood that Mr. White convinced department officials he had no inten- tion wrongfully*to use the influence of his office in behalf of the Bank of North Dakota or the Nonpartisan League. He frankly admitted: that he knew nothing of the Federal law which forbids what he had done. Mr. White has been in office less than a month and has many things about it yet to learn. What Department Says, ae department. statement. merely said: F “The statement in the advertise- ment of bonds of the state of North Dakota which appears ia “today’s, newspapers,..purporting to be signed by the Treasurer of the United) States, is entirely without authority o fthe Treasury department.” Mr. White. said last night«that he was entirely innocent of trying to uge his office:to promote the sale of the North Dakota bonds. Not being aware of the Federal law denying him the right to testify to the financial stabil- ity of his home state, he felt there was no impropriety, when he made the statement to a young man several days ago. Mr. White had no idea It was to be used. The young man was the representative of the New York agents of the Bank of North Dakota and Mr. White thought it proper to make the statement requested. This Caused the Trouble. The statement which was dated May 16, 1921 and caused all of the trouble | follows: “These bonds have been passed on by ‘both the state and Federal ‘courts and are a valid obligation of the state of North Dakota. “The present state debt outside of this issue is less than $250,000, less than two cents on each $100/of the assessed valuation of the taxable roperty of the state. | wThis bond issue has batk of it the entire resources of a great state—a state with 45,000,000 acres of fertile farm land with hundreds of thriving mn eye seated uation of all prop: “The assessed valuation a erty of the state is about, $1,500,000,- 000. This bond issue of $3,000,000 amounts to but. twenty cents to each $100 of valuation.
